I

Fear, trembling heart afraid of despair Whirlwind thoughts assailing the distance Frailly brave;strength woven in weakness Irascible with no apology Soft, tempted to touch Like foam the body, an angel to my soul Spirit relentlessly searching Sagittarius to the marrow Butts like implants Tommy making babies I don't care yet I do As I walk, heart flutters excitedly wanting to I long for you Longing to say my first halo Broad, big and strong Fragile, weak and soft Complimentary contradictory Yet I remain defiantly unrepentant I won't do it Never would I Even if the world wants me to The walk, the talk, the disposition, and more What a cheer deceit Buried in the soul of her sweet dreams The warrior must stand I must Cuz of the beautifully, wonderfully special person I'm Sassy with black unrefined Like it would never finish Longing for lost words to fill in the gap What a bridge left to be filled But of a truth I know I can't be shortchanged in life Cuz I'm destined for the top
